Today I drove by and checked in to the Tacoma Water Works Building at 3501 South Union Avenue (previous address 3506 South 35th Street). Tacoma, WA 98409 (253) 502-8384. I’ve often admired the architectural style of this industrial building, which contains almost 40,000 square feet of space per the public record. The building was constructed in 1937 at a cost of $137,000. It is occupied by the Tacoma Water Department. A photo of the building from 1977 can be found here:

A big thank you to Brian at the Northwest Room of the Tacoma Public Library and also my friend Mary! 🙂
